Square Enix watchers are busy marvelling at how Square Enix’s stock has halved in value in only 2 years.
Their stock price over the last 2 years:
The 5 year picture:
Of course, that the company is in trouble is probably by now evident to anyone who has been playing their recent games.
i hope to jenova Square turn around and say FU to Enix, (highly doubt it though is it’s probably a partnership by now, unlike with sony) but seriously, after the final square game was made, everything went downhill, i still play FFVII for it’s aweomeness, KH and FF-onwards, i dont play, purely to save myself, a few years if i’d heard this i’d have been like NOOOOOOOOOO, but now i have a bit more understanding about this stuff, they should’ve seen it coming, i believe there owner said there goal was “To spread happiness across the globe by providing unforgettable experiences” that time has long gone and now it’s “To give the finger to happiness across the globe and line our pockets with cash” but in all honesty, i shall continue to play the decent ff games and watch the decent ff movies and hope to god they manage to redeem themselves
C’mon people they just have to do a remake of FFVII in hd and put it out just on XBL and PSN, and they be swiming in money AGAIN, then stop making crap to please the americans and do their games simpler and cheaper (no 78 minutes of theather quality CGI goes a loooong wai in cheapening production) that would be of course if they get theyr heads out of theyr asses and start listening to theyr fans
Personally, I believe all great things must come to an end. Too bad the FF series just didn’t stop at FFX (which, IMHO, would’ve been a good place to end it). But now, they went and homo is up with an online game that’s damn near impossible to solo (which some of players prefer!) Then came X-2 and XII…then that sorry excuse of a flash video game we laughingly call FFXIII.
Go back to the unlikely hero/anti-hero who’s stuck in a complex romance. Quit trying to make the FF world seem overly relateable in terms of politics/social relations (it really pissed me the F off when Lightening and Snow didn’t hook up nor when Vaan and Ashe didn’t – though it wouldn’t have saved either game) and go back to some mysterious evil wanting to destroy human/demi-human lives with the Crystals because it’s a Tuesday and Fox News wasn’t on and the neighborhood blacksheep/social shuttin had to step in and stop it, while winning the girl!
square enix has lost its touch for a few years…..
maybe they should recruit more talented people….
the only good square game is final fantasy 1, the rest are gay.
